History

All that is known of Gardano Saimato Uzaki is that in his past, he had a loving wife who supported him, despite him losing his job as en engineer. Gardano's wife, Mimi Saimato was house wife who suddenly became very sick and they had to care for despite their situation. Mimi soon passed away with the revealing factor of her sickness being breast cancer, with Gardano blaming himself for not having the money to support their child, Benny, but the care for his wife. Mimi's last words to Gardano was to do the best for their son despite the circumstances, to be happy for her.

As days went by, Benny, who was just a 10 year old child tries to comfort his father, saying the same words of Mimi to keep him on his feet. Gardano was looking for a job, but found nothing, eventually he did dirty jobs on the side to help support Benny and himself. It was not long until he ran into members of Black Shadow, who forced him into their ranks. Despite the job he was doing, which resulted in kidnappings and a bit o blood on his hands, he used this money as a desperate attempted to support Benny, with heavy regret of his actions.

Gardano wanted out of Black Shadow, but feared for his life and had no choice but to summit to Borojei. When they had to go to Beijing China, Gardano had Benny stay in a Hotel there and wait for him. After a few days, The Black Shadow captured May Li, Bianca Airesus and a few others and made a quick holding of all the captives in an abandon warehouse, which used to house furniture and clothing nearby the woods. During that night, Bianca Airesus successfully escaped through a window, and Sun Lee Yuk gave the order to capture her, with everyone rushing to clean up the warehouse if Bianca ever should return with police.

Gardano and another gunmen chased Bianca into the woods and Bianca swiftly dived into a large pound of water. Gardano was about to go in after her, but the other gunmen shot into the water instead, telling Gardano that they can make something up if Bianca was killed by gunfire. Blood rose from the pound and the shooter said Bianca is dead and they should get out of the area fast. Despite this conclusion, Gardano felt sick to his stomach and feels he is going to be punished and wanted to go retrieve Bianca's body if she did die.

To Gardano's surprise, Bianca was alive, just surfacing on the other side of the pound, with a slight graze to her arm and leg from gunfire, staring at him on the other side of the pound. Gardano yelled in anger at Bianca and aimed his gun at her, telling her to stand down or be shot and killed. Gardano and Bianca began staring at each other, with the fear, pain and sadness in Bianca's gaze stunning Gardano. He began to think about his son and lowered his gun slowly. Bianca slowly backed away while looking at him and ran away.

Gardano thought to himself that he no one would find out about what he did and returned to the warehouse with the other gunmen and aided with packing up. The other gunmen who was with him informed Borojei in private about the matter and Gardano was called in. Borojei explained why he was called and was punished 2 times. The first was his arm being cut off completely, and the other was witnessing his son being assassinated by one of Borojei's men, this drove Gardano mad, and despite this, he was treated badly by other gunmen in Black Shadow.

Days later, Benny's body had been found, and authorities assume that the child was kidnapped and killed. They thought Gardano was also killed and his body was never found, Benny had been buried by his mother with the Chinese paying for this due to the problems they ere having with the myth known as Black Shadow.

Trying to prevent Momoko from being taken

Black Shadow had kidnapped a number of girls at an orphanage, including Momoko herself. The girls were rushed over to Hong Kong due to Black Shadow rounding up potential buyers from among the human trafficking society. Momoko was determined to escape and help the other girls out of captivity only to be a potential target herself. Gardano tried to reason with her to stop only for Momoko to lash out against him. Gardano did all he could regardless to prevent her from being moved far from Hong Kong, which he did in secret successfully by tampering with encrypted computers Black Shadow used.

He tried to be nice to Momoko and the girls for a while, eventually Momoko start to ask him why he is working for bad people, but it was hard for him to explain, adding he will try to protect them even if it means his life for he had nothing to go back to. Accidentally, he uttered the words of his wife anf child to Momoko, telling her to remember it and be brave before tearing up a bit.

It wasn't long until a greedy Indian man who lived in Hong Kong to take notice in Momoko and wanted to take her. The luxurious building had suites on the 3rd floor and he took Momoko, with v trying to persuade the man named Pujab to relax and go enjoy the party a bit more before messing around with Momoko, but the man did not listen. Gardano was left to think of the worse when Pujab grabbed and carried Momoko forcefully upstairs, away from the side rooms, away from the party below.

He tried to go and help again, however, was stopped and told to take station downstairs. Unknown to him, Bianca and her partner, Brian Whall, were in the party undercover trying to find Black Shadow, eventually rescuing Momoko in the process and having Pujab disabled for good.

Freedom from Black Shadow

Gardano was stationed at Sun Lee Yuk's estate. During his time there, he was very depressed at times, but what kept him away from taking his own life was the words of his wife and son, still thinking there is a glimmer of hope to escape from this corrupt gang of criminals who trafficking humans. He secretly kept his eye on Terrai Hong, who Sun Lee Yuk treated her like gold. He tells her to not do anything stupid, and often sees her helping other captives, and attempts to help them out a bit by giving extra food and clothing to use, since they were always hungry and barely wore good clothing to cover themselves, but all this in secret.

It wasn't long until Bianca, who is The Steel Maiden, sneaks into the Estate. In her awake, she managed to kill guards inside the Estate without notice. She was about to gun down Gardano and a few others, but the visor on her constantly scanned him and a few others, and she let them live, it is unknown as to why others had died, in Gardano's mind, he drew a theory that she, "it" as they call her, knew the criminal database and how bad some of the gunmen had it to get killed off and or beaten to near death.

Other guards who were unaware, did not know Master Yuk was fighting at first, thinking he was fooling around with one of captive prisoners, and soon they realized Yuk was dead when they screaming. At this, Gardano freed all the captives, along with those who were not killed by Bianca or left alive. When the police helicopters rushed in and boats stormed in, Gardano and the others dropped their guns, and as for Bianca, she disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Gardano was imprisoned in a jail cell along with other ex-Black Shadow members who were happy they were free from their madness. Lydia, who was a captive was the reason Gardano got out to meet with Bianca and the others. When he did, he explained to everyone his situation while introducing himself, he brought down to tears with Momoko comforting him, stating that this was the same man who tried to help her out too before she was saved from Pujab on the Yacht.

Bianca had forgiving him and shockingly cried at his ordeal and hugged him. Days later, Momoko stuck by his side and became like a daughter-figure to him, and soon Gardano helped Bianca snuff out remaining members of Black Shadow, notably hiding out in Russia, including Borojei himself.

He aided in the take down of Kane, who hosted fight nights, using his drugged captives and soon helped Momoko rescue Bianca be giving her the nano Battle suit she had upgraded time and time again.

Borojei was later beaten and assassinated by Bianca, putting the nail on the coffin to The Black Shadow crime syndicate. Even after TSM society had been created, he offered to aid them in anyway he can, and Momoko gave Gardano a shot at becoming a father. Gardano helped the kidnapped girls return to the orphanage and Momoko had been adopted by Gardano, with them continuing their days in Old Japan.

Despite Borojei's death, Gardano thinks Black Shadow is not really dead, this pushed him to train to fight back, along with Momoko who had been trained to fight alongside him.

Momoko and Gardano's new enemies is The revived Yakuza, with the allegedly leader being the insane former J-pop singer, Ryuka Jezaku, in Old Japan during the Cybernetic Threat events.
